Re: [KCFusion] Macs..bleh
Title: Message Get them to upgrade? Sure, but it involves flying pigs and a backwards rotating earth. No seriously, this thing is the heart of the organziation. If i were to replicate it it would have to be updated every minute. But it is something I can look into, at this point Im not tossing any idea out. FM is pretty low powered im not even certain it has something akin to replication services.

Maybe you can use an MS SQL odbc driver/connector. Or, maybe you can setup some form of replication or linking between say, Access or MS SQL and the FileMaker. Then, use CF to access the new DB. Can you just force them to upgrade to a different database?

The organization has a database in FileMaker Pro 5 (on Mac of course) that is mission critical (I bet you already know what Im going to ask). The first time I tried to access it 2 summers ago from CF which sits on Win2k server it was not possible. I was wondering if in the year and a half since someone has created a working ODBC driver or is there anybody else that has some sort of workaround? I'm all over the internet without much luck. A.

Perhaps. I haven't worked with FMP6 at all (whew), so things might be totally different now. -Ron -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Adaryl WakefieldSent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 5:35 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Re: [KCFusion] Macs..bleh Hmmm see at this point I'm almost wondering if this might be a job for XML maybe?
